To change the aspect ratio (size and shape) of the projected image, select Aspect Ratio from the Main Menu and press ENTER. Select the appropriate aspect ratio for your screen size and the type of program material being viewed; refer to Table 4-1.

The currently-selected aspect ratio is indicated by a “7” to its left; in this example, 16:9 is selected.

Note that some aspect ratios are unavailable and/or not useful with certain types of source material. The optimal setting depends on a number of factors, such as:

•The aspect ratio of the source material, as broadcast or encoded on the playback medium.

•The “display type” (16:9 or 4:3) and output resolution settings at the source component. Most modern DVD/BD players and set-top boxes have such controls.

•Viewer preference (original aspect ratio with “black bars,” or a full-screen presentation with some distortion or cropping).

The aspect ratio selection is automatically saved for each input and

Note resolution.
